Plain file problem - transfer won't start

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am trying to upload a zip folder using SmartFTP. There are no spaces in the name of the folder. However the log says "550 Andrew_Brown_180408.zip: not a plain file" and although the folder appears in my transfer queue it will not start. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have to upload this before Monday to meet a deadline.

Thanks,

Andy

cheers for your help

You have no permissions to upload:
[11:57:56] 553 Andrew_Brown_200408.zip: Permission denied.

Contact your web hosting provider.

Sorry to bother you again. Do you mean that I should contact the host of where I am attempting to upload the file to?

Thanks for your help

Yep.

Ok, thanks a lot for your help, much appreciated
